Farnam Street - OMAHA NEB ii grange MOVEMENT Twenty one Organized in Nebras ka Within Last Year NEED OF SUCH ORGANIZATION By E A Burnett University of Ne braska The grange movement which has been strong for many years in the eastern and middle states is gaining a foothold in Nebraska where twenty one granges have been organized with in the last year At a recent meeting of the State Grange the Hon J D Ream of Broken Bow Neb was elect ed master of the State Grange The grange is a farmers organiza tion national in its character with county state and national organiza tions The membership consists main ly of farmers and farmers wives with members of their families over four teen years of age The purr ose of the grange is to fur nish a social center where men and women may meet together and discuss those questions which are cf personal or community interest The need of such an organization has been apparent for many years Farmers have had little opportunity to meet in a social way to study questions which relate to their busi ness interests and the enjoyment and cemfort of their families Terhaps he largest benefit which comes from the organization of a grange comes to the farm women and ihe children who are more isolated than the men having less opportunity to meet each other in their daily occu pations The women find the grange a place where they can study ques tions pertaining to the health of thsir families to household management where they can learn of good and help ful books and where they are stimu lated to a deeper study of the prob lems of country living The young people find in the grange an opportu nity for social life which is not found on the isolated farm They are in duced to a study of current clay prob lems by hearing these things discussed by the older members They help in the program by leadings recitations songs etc Men who have never be fore addressed public audiences or taken part in public debate learn to do so among their friends and neigh bors in tl e grange and greatly in crease thir efficiency and their use fulness in tho community through the confidence and the experience they ac quire in their local grange organiza tion The Increase in land values has made it necessary for the farmer to be more efficient than in pioneer days Farming is a business in which the land is capitalized up to its full earn ing capacity under good management The farmer in these days to be a business success must understand the principles of soil fertility and soil management and must put these prin ciples into practice Few farmers have studied these questions in the schools and they must depend upon their individual experience or upon in formation which they can gain from the outside for the improvement of their farms and the increase of their crop yields The grange offers an op portunity for the study of scientific methods and of the best practical ex perience of the neighborhood The grange lecturer by a systematic pro gram can cover a large range of sub jects in a season and can make the meetings a real school for the mem bers It is freely admitted by farm ing communities that those neighbor hoods which have had local farmers organizations are more progressive mere prosperous and use more ad vanced methods than communities where no such stimulus has been at work One of the greatest problems at the present time is to keep the educated man and woman upon the land con tented with their condition This can only be accomplished where the com munity offers social advantages suffi cient to meet the needs of educated men and women Some form of farm ers organization is necessary to fill this need and the grange throughout a large portion of the United- States hn been able to meet this demand more fully perhaps than any other criii7Pton Especially in the east ern and ccntnl states where the grange has on- beon in existence is its nfluencp upon ag irultural condi tions seen The grange is non sectarian and joes not affiliate itself with any polit ical party It takes its position upon a public question after a full discus sion of the question independent1 of the views of political parties The grange is a secret organization It has a ritual and in many respects is sim ilar to othsr fraternal organizatois After a charter membership has be 1 f St S 2J 1 A encdera Sinensis Has speared in This Country Curiosity From the Orient Said to Have Been Imported by Green house Owners to Destroy Insects Philadelphia Pa The Tenodera Sinensis or Chinese Mantis is in our midst nowadays and the insect ex perts at the Academy of Natural Sci ences on Logan Square have been kept busy recently answering ques tions as to what the queer looking in sects are and where they come from Philadelphia is about the only American city that is the home of the Chinese Mantis About 10 years ago a number of the insects were brought to this city from China on some plants that had been imported by the Median Nurseries in German- town Gradually the mantis spread through Germantown and are now rather abundant north of Market street That they will in time spread throughout the city and suburbs and perhaps in time throughout the coun try seems probable The mantis according to Br Henry Skinner of the Academy of Natural Sciences has no sting but has a rath er large mouth and will bite if an noyed Several weeks ago a woman living in Germantown became terrifien when one of the insects flew against her arm She declared that the bug stung her and that her arm was bad ly swollen for several days Not a day has passed that several persons with the insects in bottles have not come to the Academy to have their pets examined The man- tis lives on smaller insects such as flies mosquitoes and gnats Accord j ing to Dr Skinner the bug is really valuable The eggs of the mantis are laid in autumn and hatch in spring About the last of August the mantis becomes full grown and lives until i l SO L lfuliJI The Chinese Mantis cold weather In size the bugs range from two to six inches long They are very peculiar in appearance and are sometimes called Praying Mantis Soothsayers and the Prophet Bugs It is said the Chinese tell their for tunes from the actions of the insects The name Praying Mantis comes from the fact that the insects hold their two front legs whfch are very short in a praying position and often work them rapidly back and forth The most peculiar parts of the bug are its eyes and long neck The eyes are like miniature shoe buttons on the outside shoots out from the body and forms about one third the length of the bug I ranging from one to two inches The t lormeu it invites uiemucis 10 J 0ld there is to be a suit tor Dieach o omy upon eieuuuii iuu giaiiso - iromiso however inclusive
